Sumerian Pictures has acquired North American rights to “Butthole Surfers: The Hole Truth and Nothing Butt,” a salute to the trailblazing American rock band, The Butthole Surfers. The film is directed by Tom Stern and combines archival footage, animation, puppetry, and reenactments featuring the band. In addition, Richard Linklater, Flea, Dave Grohl, John Paul Jones, Henry Rollins, and Ice-t are interviewed about a group that was known for combining psychedelia, punk and grunge with energetic, anti-establishment, often chaotic live shows. “Tom Stern and team are taking us on a wild ride and we are excited to bring audiences to the incredible story of these punk icons,” Rob Williams, president of Sumerian Pictures, said. Sumerian is a newcomer to the indie distribution scene, but it turned heads with its acquisition of the 2026 Sundance Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award winner, “Josephine,” starring Channing Tatum and Gemma Chan.

“Insidious: Out of the Further” director Jacob Chase is set to direct the horror project “Sleepover” for Blumhouse Atomic Monster and Universal Pictures. Described as the “quintessential sleepover nightmare,” it’s set for an Oct. 8, 2027 theatrical release. Chase directs from a screenplay co-written with “Night Swim” screenwriter Bryce McGuire, adapted from McGuire’s original short story. Blumhouse Atomic Monster also presented Chase’s “Insidious: Out of the Further” along with Sony. The sixth installment in the “Insidious” franchise opened this past weekend to a solid $60 million worldwide. Chase has also directed “Come Play.” Ahead of the “Insidious: Out of the Further” release, Chase told Variety, “Scaring people is kind of like magic — literally magic tricks — which is also something I had a real affinity for growing up,” he says. “It’s all misdirection, right? It’s figuring out how you can constantly surprise an audience in the way that the best magic tricks do.

Sometimes, you just want to watch a pleasant, good-hearted comedy that isn't trying to be a belly-laugh machine. Maybe it's a low-key Bill Forsyth treasure like "Local Hero," Bonnie Hunt's gently charming "Return to Me," or Alan Alda's amusing showbiz satire "Sweet Liberty." Director Josh Greenbaum's "The Dink" is one of those movies. While it's a little zanier than those aforementioned films, "The Dink" would rather go for a smile than a guffaw. Written by Sean Clements, co-host of the brilliantly absurd "Hollywood Handbook" podcast, it's Jake Johnson's best star vehicle since "Win It All." Initially, his character, Dustin Boyd, is a hard-driving tennis prodigy known as "The Hammer,

Geoff Murphy's 1995 action spectacular "Under Siege 2: Dark Territory" was not terribly well-received by critics. 1992's "Under Siege" — perhaps best described as "'Die Hard' on a boat" — starred Steven Seagal as Lieutenant Casey Ryback, an ex-Navy Seal who had become a ship's galley cook upon being demoted by his superiors. It seems that Casey punched his commanding officer after some bad intelligence in a Panama excursion got his team killed. As a galley cook, he took a position on the USS Missouri. As one might predict, the Missouri is infiltrated by terrorists (led by Tommy Lee Jones' William

A “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” sequel is in the works at Paramount, with original star Kate Hudson attached to produce the project, Variety can report exclusively. Development on the sequel is in early stages, with the cast and several key creative roles yet to be selected, according to a source close to the project. The intention of the filmmakers and the studio is to have Hudson and her co-star from the original, Matthew McConaughey, reprise their roles. The project is currently seeking a screenwriter, so casting will depend on the take. Stacey Sher is also on board to produce alongside Hudson through her Shiny Penny banner. Sher’s extensive list of producer credits includes “Pulp Fiction,” “Gattaca,” “Erin Brockovich,” “Vanilla Sky” and “Django Unchained.” Reps for Hudson and McConaughey did not immediately respond to Variety‘s request for comment. A follow-up to “How to Lose a Guy” seemed inevitable,

New York City is losing yet another movie theater. Per an AMC spokesperson, the AMC Kips Bay 15 “will continue operating until the end of 2026, at which time the theatre will close following the property owner’s decision to exercise its contractual right to terminate the theatre’s lease before its scheduled expiration.” Talk about heartbreak. Located on the East Side of Manhattan, the 15-screen theater, including an IMAX auditorium, first opened in 1999. AMC took over operations of the location in 2006, making it the chain’s second-largest multiplex in Manhattan. In recent years, Manhattan’s East Side has lost several theater locations, including the 86th Street location of City Cinemas in May 2019, the Second Ave. location of the Beekman Theatre in September 2019, and the 62nd Street location of the Cmx CinebistroLenox Hill in October 2018. The Third Ave. location of Cinema 123 by Angelika is currently for sale. The chain also operates Empire 25 in Times Square,
